Some mothers are so worried about the curriculum, the rigour of teaching and mixed age environment- that too of little 3 and 4 yr olds? Even I have been the culprit sometimes. Does it matter that much?
While we have to be realistic in a competitive world, isn't schooling only a part ( even if a big part) of raising a child. What about the stimulation at home and otherwise?
And WHY are people so wary about changing schools? I have changed 6 or so and only gained from it. . .
If the right school guarantees success and if all children can be moulded into little geniuses would we not have a world full of only good schools and super achieving kids?
How boring that would be!
PS Anush's second day was better - she went in reluctantly today but she mentioned to me that she did not cry in class and had a nice time with the new chithi. . .

this whole schooling business has actually started worrying me!!
does it matter if Cubby can show his nose by the time he is 11months! or whether he can rattle of 1 to 100 at 2 and a half!!
its just so crazy!!

u have a print of a Ravi Verma in your pooja place. it looks very soothing.
Schooling hasnt started to bother me yet, but i agree with you in principle.
hear hear! well said!
was just thinking the other day about this batchmate of ours - he was at the bottom of class in b-school and got a relatively 'bad' time at placement time. started his own venture and now is doing phenomenally well.
